French (Français) translation of Was bedeuten diese Rätsel?

by Johann Vesque von Püttlingen (1803 - 1883), "Was bedeuten diese Rätsel?", op. 41 (Ironische Lieder von H. Heine) no. 2

Note: this is a translation of one multi-text setting.

Deine weißen Lilienfinger,
Könnt ich sie noch einmal küssen,
Und sie drücken an mein Herz,
Und vergehn in stillem Weinen! 

Deine klaren Veilchenaugen
Schweben vor mir Tag und Nacht,
Und mich quält es: was bedeuten
Diese süßen, blauen Rätsel?

«Hat sie sich denn nie geäußert
Über dein verliebtes Wesen?
Konntest du in ihren Augen
Niemals Gegenliebe lesen?
 
Konntest du in ihren Augen
Niemals bis zur Seele dringen?
Und du bist ja sonst kein Esel,
Teurer Freund, in solchen Dingen.»

Author(s): Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Tes petits doigts de lis,
Si je pouvais encore une fois les embrasser,
Les presser sur mon cœur
Et silencieux mourir en larmes !

Tes yeux clairs de violette
Planent devant moi jour et nuit,
Et cela me tourmente : que signifie
Ce doux et bleu mystère ?

N'a-t-elle jamais rien dit
De ton caractère amoureux ?
Ne pouvais-tu dans ses yeux
Ne jamais lire un amour mutuel ?

Ne pouvais-tu dans ses yeux
Ne jamais pénétrer son âme ?
Et pourtant tu n'es pas un âne,
Cher ami, en de telles affaires.
